Overview
Cunningham is a family-oriented, safe, and nurturing school whose students come from more than 30 different countries. In an effort to prepare our student body for college and career, we empower them to think critically and engage in rich peer-to-peer collaboration across all disciplines. Cunningham focuses on science, engineering, technology, math, sustainability, and environmental issues through hands-on STEM related activities, robotics, coding, Ever-fi, residencies, field trips, partnerships, and service-learning opportunities. Students will become communicators and collaborators while learning new and exciting engineering and technology skills, conducting research, applying math concepts, and striving to create a model for a sustainable community. The program heightens students' curiosity in STEM subjects by laying a solid foundation for futures in science, engineering, math, and tech fields through all subject areas by teaching the critical skills that life and work demand.
